2017~2025 CX-5 Steering issues

[Aeroshyam]

Dear mates,
Mine is a 2024 CX-5 sports plus AWD. My steering used to be a bit heavy and had a super sportier feeling since the day one. I really liked the firm grip on the road and handling the vehicle. Recently started to feel the steering is a bit loose and free to rotate without much resistance. I have to put some effort to keep it straight on roads. I feel occasional jerks while turning. Not something I expect on a new car.

What could be the reason? I suspect the problem started when I'm trying to park inside the garage with some sharp turns. Appreciate the responses.

hard to say what it is... tire wear, suspension component wear, alignment issues, wrong tire pressures etc... any or combination of those

if you've kept up with your tire rotations, and confirmed the tire pressures are to spec... since your car is only a year old, I'm going to presume it doesn't even have 36k miles yet... so take it back to the dealer and let them figure it out under warranty
